Botanical Reference Material (BRM)

A Botanical Reference Material is a characterized plant-derived sample - such as a rhizome, leaf, root, seed, or flower - used as a comparison standard to confirm the identity, purity, and authenticity of raw materials through techniques like HPTLC fingerprinting and phytochemical analysis.

BioTrace Labs offers a growing range of BRMs covering commonly used botanicals such as Turmeric, Tulsi, Shatavari, Moringa, Nutmeg, Long Pepper, and more, with each material characterized for its specific marker compounds and authentication use.

Each BRM is available in standard 5g and 10g pack sizes, with bulk or custom quantities available on request for laboratories and manufacturers with higher testing volumes.

Select a BRM based on the raw material you need to authenticate - each product page lists the botanical name, plant part used, and key chemical constituents so you can match it to your test method, whether HPTLC, phytochemical fingerprinting, or herbal identity confirmation.

Each BRM listing specifies the botanical name, common/vernacular names, plant part used, plant family, and primary chemical constituents, giving labs the details needed to confirm suitability before testing.
